I played old Thorns for years, and fell in love with the setting and characters. I was an admin before the 2011 downtime. Right before Thorns went down, I sensed the impending doom. I backed up the forum to my computer, then got a webcrawler and grabbed every page off the wiki and old-old forum. For a brief period from 2011-2013, I hosted a janky copy of Thorns on a new site. I was in a demanding school program at the time, and my web skills weren't quite up to the task.... ha ha ha *twitch* Stressful times, but I did it, sort of. Anyway, it's still up as an archive. Apparently it was helpful to Tif and co.! Yay! I'm glad Thorns is alive again and not just collecting dust (and costing me $$ while collecting dust... I sometimes doubted my sanity when the bills came in, I'll admit XD). The things we do for love...
Non-Thorns things: I make an animated webcomic, Nwain: The Knight Who Wandered Dream, and I write for Avendar MUD, a real-time roleplaying text game.

Rape: I hate it!! Even fictional rape. I can't stand it! I get REALLY mad about it. I seriously hulk out. I will NOT read any explicit rape thread. Please do not spring one on me. I do not want to throw things at my monitor. My monitor is innocent.
That said, I'll be happy to have Abe help survivors after an incident. Not during!!!
